The weird word of sports

- Cheese-rolling
In Cheese-rolling the competitors run down a hill for following a very big local cheese that rolls down the hill.
The Master of Ceremonies starts the game, a special guest launches the cheese, the partecipants follow and the person who arrives at the bottom of the hill first wind the cheese!



- Zorbing
Zorbing isn't a competitive sport. The "zorb" is a gigantic ball made of clear plastic. A person stand inside the zorb and rolls down the hill. During the journey the zorbonaut feels strange sensations.
The sphere is very soft so it isn't dangerous!




- Sepak Takraw
Sepak means "kich" and Takraw means "ball". It combines football, volleyball and gym in one game! Two teams of three people stand on opposite sides of a net. 
They use their feet, knees and head to pass the ball over the net but they can't use hands or arms.





- Bossaball
Bossaball is a combination of volleyball and trampolining with live music. Teams of 3-5 players can use hands, feet or head to hit the ball over the net.
They jump on the trampoline and try to keep the ball in air.
The Bossaball referes play live music while the teams are playing!
